Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
A. This choice is correct because data transfer between Azure regions is charged based on the amount of data transferred and the distance it travels. The farther the data travels and the more data that is transferred, the higher the costs will be incurred.
B. Data transfer between Azure regions is not charged based on the destination region only. The costs are determined by the amount of data transferred and the distance it travels, so both the source and destination regions impact the charges incurred for cross-region data transfer.
C. Data transfer between Azure regions is not always free, regardless of the distance. Azure charges for data transfer based on the amount of data transferred and the distance it travels, so there are costs associated with cross-region data transfer.
D. Data transfer between Azure regions is not charged based on the source region only. The costs are determined by the amount of data transferred and the distance it travels, so both the source and destination regions play a role in calculating the charges.
